TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD 



IPtrasell's historical Series, 

fk>. 24. 



PREFACE. 



Thirty years of interesting study examining many 
and various town, county, State, church, family Bible, 
and other records (at all times taking notes), have 
enabled me to compile therefrom the within matter, 
which I hope will give as much pleasure to some of 
the other descendants of the early settlers of Long 
Island as the gathering of it has given me. 

As "to err is human," I must ask indulgence for 
errors, and offer to endeavor to correct them if 
brought to my notice. 

Several pages in the fore part of the book are de- 
voted to deeds, wills and records of the early Powells, 
with some accounts of the coming of the first Thomas, 
progenitor of all the rest. 

The Powell genealogies follow in the order of the 
first Thomas. Then, Powell descendants of his oldest 
son ; then, Powell descendants of his second oldest 
son ; then, Powell descendants of his third oldest son, 
and so on through the Powells. 

Three of the children of Thomas Powell having 
married into the Willets family, I have deemed it 
proper that the genealogy of the Willets family 
should come next. Edmund Titus' genealogy fol-

lows ; then, Henry Willis' genealogy ; then, Capt. 
John Seaman's genealogy ; then, William Hallock's 
genealogy ; then, John Carman's genealogy. All 
these were original settlers, and the first Thomas 
Powell's children married into their families. 

The other genealogies of old Long Island families 
follow in alphabetical order. 

Lastly, the will of John James, the first town clerk 
of Hempstead, and some other interesting matter. 

I am, with great respect for my ancestors and their 

descendants, 

MARY P. BUNKER, 

A descendant of three successive Thomas Powells 
and many other early settlers of Long Island.

A Copy of the Will of Thomas Powell. 

Last will and testament of Thomas Powell Sen 
late of Bethpage now of Westbury in the limits of 
Hempstead in Queens County on Nassau Island in 
the Colony of New York 

Whereas the certainty of mortality is before me 
and the uncertainty when the time of my dissolution 
shall come, and now being indifferent in health and 
of perfect memory do hereby make and ordain and 
appoint this my last will and testament for the dis- 
posing of what is disposable by me, and in order 
thereunto I do in the first place give and bequeath 
my soul to God my Maker from whom I have re- 
ceived mercy and hope and believe I ever shall as I 
keep in his fear and stand in his counsel through 
Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior who suffered the 
shameful death of the Cross without the Gates of 
Jerusalem and ascended on high and led captivity 
captive and hath given gifts unto men for the 
edifying of the Body his church for the perfecting 
the Saints among whom my lot is fallen as well to 
believe the Gift as to Receive it, so that by the pre- 
vailing of the Gift — the giver working with it — 
I come to know his Righteousness, imparted as 
well as imputed to me and in a sense thereof my 
Soul doth praise the Lord Jehovah who with his Glory

as they shall judge equal and just, and the division 
so made by my Executors or such of them as shall 
qualify as aforesaid shall be good stable and authen- 
tic to my sons, and to each of them in fee simple in 
as full a manner as if I had done it myself in my 
lifetime to all intents & purposes whatsoever ; And 
my will is after my debts are fully paid and other 
charges accruing about my estate, that the remainder 
part of my movable Estate be divided thus : my wife 
to have the Indian girl named Boda during her

Ancestry. 

" We represent the hereditary influences of our 
race, and our ancestors virtually live in us. 

u The sentiment of ancestry seems to be inherent in 
human nature, especially in the more civilized races. 

" At all events we cannot help having a due regard 
for our forefathers. Our curiosity is stimulated by 
their immediate or indirect influence upon ourselves. 
It may be a generous enthusiasm or, as some might 
say, a harmless vanity, to take pride in the honor of 
their name. 

a The gifts of nature, however, are more valuable 
than those of fortune, and no line of ancestry how- 
ever honorable, can absolve us from the duty of dili- 
gent application and perseverance or from the practice 
of the virtues of self control and self help." 

"They haunt your breezy hillsides, and thundering floods ; 
They linger by your gliding streams, and mid your moss draped 

woods ; 
They sit beside the green old graves ; in shadow and in sheen, 
And move among your household gods, though voiceless and 

unseen. 



Records. 1 9 

" Then ye, who make your happy homes, where once their homes 

have been, 
Deem also this your heritage, to keep their memories green ; 
To shield within your heart of hearts, the glorious trust you hold, 
And bear unstained the names they bore, those brave, proud men 

of old." 

Thomas Powell (progenitor of all the Long Island 
Powells — most if not all of these in the State of 
New York — many in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and 
Maryland — and some in the other States) was born 
in 8th month, 1641. The names of his parents and 
place of his birth do not appear to be on record in 
this country. 

The various branches of his descendants claim 
that he came from Wales, and we have reason to be- 
lieve that tradition is, in this case, correct. 

In 1 61 9 First Journal of House of Delegates for 
Virginia says Burgesses were chosen. William 
Powell for James City, George Yeardly Knight and 
Govenor of Virginia, and others. 

A great-grand-daughter of Thomas Powell I st of 
Bethpage, told her children that the Virginia Powells 
were relatives of the family. 

The Court Records of Huntington Dated — 1662 
first introduce him to our notice as giving written 
testimony in the suit of law, brought at that time 
against Joanna Wood, widow of Jonas Wood Hal. 
Jonas Wood Hal was drowned when attempting to 
ford Peconic River near Riverhead, in 1660, conse- 
quently T. Powell was not more than 19 years old at 
the time of the transaction.

Thomas Matthews sometimes called Captain Mat- 
thews was at Flushing, L. I., in 1649, trading with 
John Bowne delivering goods, &c. In 1659 he was 
bringing goods in partnership with Jonas Wood and 
Edward Higbie. 

In 1669. Thomas Powell, Attorney for Mr. Thomas 
Matthews, sold land in Oysterbay to Joseph Ludlam. 

In 1667. John Matthews, son of Thomas, sold 
land in Huntington to Thomas Wicks. 

He died Dec. 7, 1686 — his son John was of age in 
1679.

Know all men by these Presents that I John West-

these presents make over from me my Executors, 
Administrators and assigns forever, all my accom- 
modations where Moses Hayte and myself bought of

lot, meadow and hollows commonage, and all privi- 
leges belonging to the accommodations, as also land 
upon the plains which belonged to Rich'd Ogden 
when I bought the accommodations of him. 

I the aforesaid John doe bind myself, my heirs and 
assigns, to clear all Rates and Taxations that shall

THOMAS POWELL^^f. 

This appears to have been the first land purchased 
by T. P. although the Records show that he had a 
home and corn in 1662. 

In 1667 Thomas Powell was Constable, John Todd, 
John Rogers Overseers, for Huntington, L. I. 

Under the Duke's Laws, promulgated when the 
English took possession in T865, 8 Overseers were 
to be chosen the first year, to hold office 2 years, & 
4 to be elected every two years afterwards, and a 



22 Records. 

Constable was to be elected every year out of the 
Overseers of the previous year. 

The Constable and Overseers managed the Town 
affairs, and had power to make orders & rules con- 
cerning fences, highways and similar matters. Con- 
stables were to attend Courts, and they had power 
to arrest, those who were overtaken with strong 
drink, or found swearing, or Sabbath breaking, 
Vagrants night walkers, provided taken in sight of 
Constable, or proven information from others or if 
in beer or disorderly places 

" Every Constable shall have a Staff six feet long 
with the Kings arms on it, as a badge of his au- 
thority " 

The Town Court had Jurisdiction of assault, Slan- 
der, and disorderly conduct generally, One offense 
was defined " as giving false news and lying about 
another." The penalty was a fine of 40 shilling if 
Paid " if not paid to sit in the stock or be whipped 
40 strokes and give satisfaction. 

T. P. was then 26 years old. 

Huntington Records show that Thomas Powell was 
frequently elected to fill important positions in the 
Township — the first of which appears to have been 
in 1663, when at the age of 22 he was made Recorder, 
this office he held most of the time for about 20 
years. 

In 1666 Thomas Powell, John James, James Chi- 
chester, Ebenezer Piatt, Isaac Piatt, Thomas Piatt 
John Bailey & Jonas Wood ; were Trustees of the 
Freeholders of the Town of Huntington, and their 
successors, and the Patent was issued in their names, 
on behalf of the Company. 

1684 T. Powell and one of the others were sent to 
Gov Nichols, to obtain a pattent from him. These 



Records. 23 

patents were both at Huntington a few years since, 
probably are there still. 

The court consisted of a Justice of the Peace (or 
in his absence) Constable and two Overseers. 

T. P. was Constable in 1667. 1668, 1669, had to 
carry a club four feet long, appointed Surveyor 
1670, to lay out land in the East Riding. Overseer 
1672. 1680 &c &c 

1682 Chosen Constable but refused to serve being 
" scrupulous of swearing as the law directs " 

The constable had to swear to levy and collect the 
Church Rates. 

1686 Chosen Committee Man to go to Southamp- 
ton to act with others on behalf of the Town. 

1666 Attorney for Thomas Matthews in the sale 
of land in Oysterbay, Joseph Ludlam, Purchaser. 

The following is on record at Huntington 1670. 
Whereas, Henry Whitson of Huntington, deceased 
in the year 1669, and after the will was proved ac- 
cording to law, the estate being divided by order 
and consent of the widow of Henry, and Thomas 
Whitson son of deceased, and 2 d Thomas Whit- 
son being under age, — he with the consent of his 
Grandfather Foster and the rest of his friends have 
thought good to make choice of Thomas Powell of 
Huntington to be his Trustee and Guardian of him 
the said Thomas Whitson, for the care and super- 
vision of the Estate of him the said Thomas Whit- 
son until he accomplish the age of one and twenty 
years, during which time the aforesaid, Thomas 
Whitson doth promise not to bargain sell or alienate 
any of his Estate without the leave and consent of 
his said Guardian, but in all things expedient be 
subject to his advice and counsel, 

as witness my hand 

THOMAS WHITSON. 



24 Records. 

In 1679. It was agreed that Thomas Powell and 
Thomas Whitson take in an addition to their land 
at Cow Harbor, 

In 1689. Thomas Powell gave a deed jointly with 
Thomas and Martha Whitson for a piece of land in 
Huntington. 

In 1700. Thomas Powell gave Thomas Whitson a 
Deed for one third of all his Bethpage purchase of 
land, — and they together built the two houses which 
were afterwards their homes, and the homes of their 
respective descendants, for many, many years. The 
places are both owned by descendants of T. Powell 
to this day — have never been out of the families. 

In 1678 the Council ordered the Constable and 
Overseers of Huntington to distrain for Church and 
Ministers Rates, but the order does not appear to 
have been attended to for several years. T. P. was 
Overseer in 1681. Same year we find charged

In 1692 he was ordered by a Writ from the King 
to appear at Court at Riverhead to show cause why 
this should not be taken from him per force. There 
does not appear to be any Rec. of a settlement of 
the claim in any manner, and it is thought that the 
Authorities let the case drop out of sight. 

Meantime T. P. sold his property in Huntington 
and bought a large tract of wilderness, of the Marsa- 
paque Indians, called it Bethpage, took possession 
in 1688, built a house for his eldest son Thomas, 
(said house is now standing on the Bethpage turn- 
pike, and has always been in possession of his des-

cendants. Got his deed from the Indians in 1695, 
and as has been said sold one third to T. Whitson in 
1700. T. P. purchased a second plot of the Indians 
in 1699. The Deeds are both Recorded at Jamaica. 
The following is a copy of the boundaries of the

Land, bounded southwesterly by Oysterbay Neck 
line, west by the line or bounds of the Town of 
Hempstead, so running northerly to a certain marked 
tree of Rob't Williams his bounds, thence along by a 
Ridge of Trees between the bushy plains and the 
great plains until it comes to a swamp or hole of 
water called by the Indian name of Mosscopas near 
the Mannetto hill ; east by Thomas Powells (former 
purchase of) land. 

1684 THOMAS POWELL for Huntington, 
THOMAS TOWNSEND for Oysterbay, 

Chosen to settle the boundary between the Towns. 

1688. T. P. Our Surveyor was still busy laying out 
lands for the Town. After this period he appears to 
have been more engaged with appointments in Friends 
meetings than in public business. He was evidently 
very useful as a member of the monthly meeting, held 
part of time at Jericho and part of the time at West- 
bury. The last mention of his name on the records 
were on this wise. — 28, i2 m0 1721 Died Thomas 
Powell Sen'r being well respected as a worthy Friend, 
— and died in unity with Friends. 

Thomas 1 Powell divided two thirds of the land 
which he purchased of the. Indians and named Beth- 
page between three of his sons, namely Thomas 
Powell the second, whose house is still standing on 
the Bethpage Turnpike. John Powell whose house 
was north of the pond. 

The site is now known as the Mott Place and 
Elisha Powell, his place was north east of the Meet- 
ing house & Friends burial ground. The whole pur- 
chase covered an area of five miles from north to

south and about three and a half miles from east to 
west, of this Thomas Whitson had one third, not all 
lying together in one piece, but divided out in vari- 
ous different parcels & pieces. 

In this way the homes of the different families as 
they became more numerous were scattered over the 
premises in all directions. 

Of the other sons of T. 1 P. it appears that Caleb, 
Jonas & Wait were settled in Huntington first, and 
that probably Jonas & Wait lived after a while in the 
neighborhood of Oysterbay & Jericho. 
Solomon lived at Westbury. 

In 1727. Friends Meetings were held once a 
month on first days at 2 Thomas Powell's house. 

In 1744. A meeting house was built, near where 
the present one stands. 

The first purchase in the Town of Huntington 
was made by Theophilas Eaton Gov of New Haven 
in 1646, — a peninsula on the north side, known as 
Eaton's Neck. 

The first purchase made by actual settlers (of 
which we have any record) was made by Richard 
Holbrook, Robert Williams and Daniel Whitehead 
in 1653. 

It lay from Cold Spring Harbor on the west to 
Northport Harbor on the east, and extended South 
to the middle of the Old Country road, it was called 
the old purchase. In 1657-8 several necks of meadow 
on the South Side of the Island, were purchased 
of the Indians by Jonas Wood and others. 

In 1673. T. Powell was Rated ^104. 1683^233. 
1673. There was a division of lands by lot among 
the proprietors and that called the fifth farm lying 
at Fresh Pond Neck fell to Thomas Skidmore, Jo- 
nas Wood, James Chichester and Thomas Powell,

proved within 3 years. 

1668. At Town meeting T. P. was voted 6 acres 
of land.

considerable land.

3, 30, 1 739. To the Monthly Meeting of Friends at 
Westbury: 

Dear Friends — These lines may acquaint you 
that I am under concern of mind for my misstep in 
ye way that I was married. 

Which was on this wise. I having made my appli- 
cation to her that is now my wife, not doubting but 
that we might come before the meeting and be 
allowed to pass the same, and having gone so far that 
we could not reverse our desires and being discour- 
aged from making application to the preparative 
Meeting by some of the members thereof, did unad- 
visedly and without ve counsel and advice of Friends 
procure a license from the Governor and was mar- 
ried by a Justice of the Peace. 

Which hasty and unadvised marriage, contrary to 
the practice and good order used and established 
amongst Friends I do condemn, and do desire that 
for the future I may walk more circumspectly. 

From your friend, 

RICHARD POWELL. 

Richard Powell's acknowledgment was acccepted 
by the Meeting, as satisfactory, and he remained a 
useful member of the Society the rest of his life.

Extract from the minutes of Westbury Monthly 
Meeting of Friends' held in 1762-3. 

" In the matter of Henry Powell marrying out of 
the unity of his Friends, to his first cousin, which 
was again resumed and considered of, it appears to 
be the sense and judgment of the meeting that inas- 
much as he was sufficiently treated with, in a dissua- 
sive manner to desist from proceeding in marriage 
with his near kinswoman before marriage, and he 
hath not received the counsel and advice of Friends, 
but gone contrary to the rules of our Discipline, and 
left Friends. Therefore, he is disowned as a mem- 
ber in unity with us, until he is sensible that he has 
gone contrary to the order of Truth and condemns 
the same with sincerity of mind to the satisfaction of 
Friends.

1699, Jonas Powell bought land at Jericho of John 
and Mary Dole. 

1 761, Daniel Powell requested to be received a 
member amongst Friends of Westbury Monthly 
Meeting, lived at Bethpage. 

In 1 719 Jonas Powell and Anna his wife sold land 
to Wait Powell, described as all Lusum joining Jacob 
Willets, that Richard Willets bought of Hope Wil- 
liams and Garret Albertson. 

It seems probable that Jonas Powell married into 
either the Champion or the Eastlake family, and went 
to New Jersey with them, taking most of his family 
with him. 

Anna wrote her name to the deeds of land when 
they sold the different pieces. Most of the women 
of that day made only a mark.

Thomas Davis and his family had a home willed 
to them by her father. It was located in the eastern 
part of the Bethpage purchase. 

Portions of land were also given to the single 
daughters for their homes, and the rest of his large 
land estate was ordered to be sold and the money 
divided amongst them all. 

WAIT 2 POWELL (Thomas 1 ) m., had no children :

1 710, Nathaniel Seaman and Thomas Powell were 
appointed by Westbury Monthly Meeting of Friends 
to speak to Wait 2 Powell and John Fry about their 
attending the marriages of two of their neices, Han- 
nah and Mary Willets, daughters of Richard Willets, 
dec, said marriages were accomplished by the assist- 
ance of a Priest. 

1724, Another Committee reported to the Monthly 
Meeting that they had spoken with Wait 3 Powell 
about his marriage out of the order of Friends — 
also with his uncle Wait 2 about assisting him in said 
marriage. 



64 Powell Family. 

Thus with no children of his own he, Wait 2 Powell, 
seems to have been a convenient uncle to help other 
people's children to have their own way. 

SOLOMON 2 POWELL, son of Thomas 1 and his 
second wife Elisabeth, was the only one that was 
born at Bethpage. He was young when his mother 
died and his father soon took him and some of his 
sisters to Westbury to reside. He never had a home 
in Bethgate afterwards, his share in his father estate 
being money, ^200. His will dated 23, 2, 1735 or 6,

Indians granted to Henry Pell 50 acres at Matine- 
cock, L. I., as he has married an Indian woman 
named Jane, one of our own nation, the Narra- 
gansetts. " The Youngs and Coverts now have the

WILLETS FAMILY. 



RICHARD WILLETS, said to have come from 
the west of England, was at Hempstead, L. I., in 1657, 
probably he was there at a much earlier date, as he 
then had 6 gates, 6 cattle, 6 milch cows, and 28 acres 
of land. Only 12 men in the town paid more taxes 
for public charges than he did, and none paid twice 
as much. He died 1664 or 5. 

1657. Richard Willets was present, with the 
widow Jane, at the reading of the Will of William 
Washburn, by John James, Town Clerk. 

At Hempstead at the Court holden April 18, 1658. 

Richard Gildersleeve, Magistrate. Richard Wil- 
lets, John Hicks and Robert Forman, Assistants. 

Mary, wife of Joseph Scott and the wife of Francis 
Weeks, fined 20 guilders and cost, each. Offence, 
attending a Quaker meeting. 

1659. Richard Willets was surveyor of highways. 

1662. Richard Willets was chosen Townsman 
by vote. 

24 day of March, 1666 or 7, widow Willets lately 
of Hempstead, now of Oyster bay, sells unto Joseph 
Williams of Hempstead, the home lot and housing 
next to the lot of Joseph Langdon on the north side 
of it, "said home lot and housing I did lately dwell 
in."

Previous to 1650 R. W. married Mary, dau. of 
W m and Jane Washburne. Their children were : 

Thomas born in 3 mo. 1650, m. Dinah Townsend, 
he d. 1 710.

1667. Mary, widow of Richard 1 Willets, bought 
a portion of her brother in law Robert Williams' 
Oyster Bay Patent or Purchase, and settled at Jeri- 
cho, where she and some of her children resided the 
rest of their lives. She joined the Society of Friends, 
became a minister, had meetings at her house, suf- 
fered distraint of property at the hands of the Au- 
thorities on account of her nonpayment of Ministers' 
and Church Rates. 

The youngest son, Richard 2 Willets, died at Jericho 
14, 3 mo. 1703, his widow lived till 1757, "having 
seen her granddaughter's grand child, and having 
her understanding and memory to admiration to the 
last." Richard 2 Willets and wife Abigail (nee Powell) 
were both active members of the Society of Friends, 
and great unanimity seems to have subsisted between 
the two widows, mother in law Mary and daughter 
in law Abigail in their long continued widowhood.

earliest settlers of the Town of Hempstead. Their 
children were :

HALLOCK FAMILY. 



Tradition says that Peter 1 Hallock came with 
twelve other heads of families to New Haven in 
1640; same season crossed the sound and landed at 
Southold, Peter being the first to step on shore at a 
spot still called Hallock's Neck Also, that having 
bought a large tract of land of the Indians, he went 
back to England for his family. Wife was unwilling 
to come, but Peter promised to give her two daughters 
(by a former husband) considerable land, and the 
family all came over in two or three years ; mean- 
time the Indians had resold his land, and another 
party had possession. The records of this period are 
lost. In 1654, according to Southold records, Wm. 2 
Hallock was in possession of a large property there, 
and was quite a man of business in the town. He 
died in 1688 or 1689. Will makes his wife Margaret

may, according to Dutch Reformation, enjoy freedom 
of conscience, which he unexpectedly missed in New 
England. 

In 1642. The Director granted and conveyed to 
him an absolute patent with manoral privileges. He 
added some families to his settlement, at Maspeth, 
L. I., in the course of a year, but the war breaking 
out, they were all driven off their lands, some were 
killed — and almost all they had was lost. They fled 
as all refugees did, to Manhattan, and Master Douthy 
was minister there. He was without means and 
his land was seized by the Director ; Douthy ap- 
pealed but the Director said there was no appeal, his 
decision must be final, and for his remarks, Doughty 
was sentenced to imprisonment 24 hours, and to pay 
25 Guilders. The deed was for 6,666 acres of land, 
at Maspeth, from Gov. Keift. Col. Rec. 

In 1685. The sons of Rev. Francis Doughty, viz :

Joseph, Nathaniel, Richard m. Maria Jones. 

James m. Mary Finch. 

Mary m. Richard Cromwell. 

Phebe m. Nathaniel Hawxhurst. 

Anne single. 

Sarah m. John Cromwell. 

Tradition says that Nathaniel Merritt of Peeks- 
kill, being a Tory, (or shall we say Loyal to his 
King) his^ neighbors set upon him to do him harm, 
and 'that he took his little Jesse into a small boat and 
rowed for New York. The rebels sent word ahead, 
so that when he reached N. Y. a mob on the dock 
seized him and some cried string him up, but the 
Mayor hearing the cry, went to the mob and telling 
them he would shut him (N. M.) up they desisted 
from their rash purpose. The Mayor then put him 
in the prison, and sent the son home to his mother 
in Peekskill. How N. M. got away is not told, but 
we next find him gathering a Company together as 
Militia men in the Kings service on Long Island, 

himself Captain, his son John a Corporal or — . 

Soon tradition comes in again, and says, the wife got 
a pass for herself and her son Jesse and joined her 
husband on L. I. ; finding her husband about to fight 
against the Rebels, she said to him, " I can live in a 
cave, or on bread and water, or even starve if need be, 
but this / cannot stand. Tradition or no tradition, he 
passed his Company over to another Captain and 
opened a store at Raynortown, neither he nor his 
son ever went into the battlefield, but after the war 
was over they deemed it safer for them to join the 
exiles, and they all went to what was then called 



Merritt Family. 243 

Nova Scotia, now New Brunswick. Freclerickton 
the capitol of N. B. was then called St. Ann, Tra- 
dition also says that Nathaniel Merritt's daughter 
Anne, wife of John Ogden, died on the way to N. S. 
and was buried at Sea. 

^ Nathaniel Merritt was tax collector in North 
Castle, Westchester Co., in 1758, also engaged in 
the settlement of the Leases and Releases be- 
tween Pierre VanCortland and Robert Gilbert Liv- 
ingston. 

The Lieut. Gov. and the Assembly appointed him 
to survey 41 51 acres of land in 1760. He was con- 
stable of Cortland Manor from 1663 to 1666. In 
1664 he surveyed a farm at Croton River in the ten- 
ure of Hicks Seaman, served as one of three arbitra- 
tors in a difference between J. McChain and Isaac 
Kronkhite, he was a merchant at Peekskill until 1 776. 
In 1778 Loyalist in Long Island Capt. Nathaniel 
Merritt and his son John. In 1780 he had a store at 
Raynortown, L. I. Aug. 3, 1783, Captain Nathaniel 
Merritt's Company left New York in the ship Cyrus 
and arrived at St John's river the nth day of Sept. 
They were supplied with rations about 3 monrhs. 

In 1 784 he was negotiating with Zephania 1 Kingsby 
for a store at Gage Town, N. Brunswick. N. B. was 
then separated from Nova Scotia, and Nathaniel 
Merritt's Company settled in that province. All his 
sons, and his son-in-law John Ogden were in company 
with him in the store at Gage Town in 1 785, and there 
are store accounts at Waterborough, Queens Co. 
New Brunswick as late as April 15, 1788, and others 
at Amityville, Queens Co., L. I. as early as lune 13, 
1788. 

N. Merritt was Notary Public, Registrar, Surveyor 
and farmer as well as merchant during the five years 



244 Merritt Family. 

that he was in N. B. In 1788 Thomas Wetmore 
was registrar and N. M. passed the Book of Records 
over to him on the 23d of February, sd book con- 
tained record of the deeds &c. from No. 1 to No. 132, 
of Queens Co., N. B. N. M. sold his real estate in 
Waterborough to John Leonard for the consideration 
of ^200. It consisted of two lots Nos. 12 and 14 of 
Coll Spry's grant on the St John river. May 1, 1789, 
N. and son Jesse Merritt were in partnership in two 
stores, one at Jerusalem in Obadiah Jackson's house, 
remained there till 1793, and Jesse's daughter Elisa- 
beth, was born there, as may be proved by the store 
records. The other store was in Huntington Town- 
ship. In the course of 1793 N. and Jesse Merritt 
bought 118 acres of land on Josiah's Neck, and in 
1794, John and Sarah Hewlett, and Charles and 
Martha Hewlett of Oysterbay, sold to them Mill &c. 
at Oysterbay, West Neck for over ^200, but they 
soon dissolved partnership and Nathaniel went to 
Brooklyn, and opened a store and public house in 1 696, 
his wife died 23, 11, 1800. In 1802 he was boarding 
at Henry Whitsons, in Bethpage, town of Oysterbay, 
L. I., he built a small shop there. Last record in 
his book Jan. 15, 1803, says put ^56, 14s, 6d, in 
Henry's desk. He (N. M.) died at his son Jesse's 
17, 4, 1803, in Bethpage just across the street from 
Henry Whitson's. His will was dated Dec. 19, 1800. 

Jesse Merritt, son of the above, born at Peekskill, 
20, 2, 1769, was with his father on L. I. in 1781 when 
^3, 15s, 6d, was paid for his schooling. The home 
was then at Raynortown, (now 1888, Freeport) he 
(J. M.) next appears as one of the company on board 
the Cyrus, bound for St Johns river. 

1785. Feb. 10, although 10 days less than 19 
years old, he (J. M.) came into possession of lot No.

1 2, of Coll Spry's grant, which lot he afterward sold 
to his father. In Sept. 1785 he was in partnership 
with his father in the store in Waterborough Town- 
ship, Queens Co. New Brunswick. 

April 17, 1787. 
This certifies whom it may concern, that Mr. 
Jesse Merritt, Deputy Surveyor, has attended 
my office for some time to qualify himself as a 
Deputy Surveyor, having before studied the theory 
of that business, and I do on a strict examination 
find him qualified in all respects to execute that duty. 

GEO. SPROULE, 

Stirveyor General. 

Surveyor General's Office, St John. 

There is an Acc't of Records and papers delivered 
by Mr. Jesse Merritt (Deputy Clerk to James Cluert 
Esq.) clerk of Thomas Wetmore, Esq. the present 
clerk of Queens County, the eighth day of Oct. 1787. 

1st the charter of Queens Co. 

2d and 3d Deeds, &c, &c, &c. 

Jesse Merritt requested and became a member of 
Jericho Monthly Meeting of Friends in 1788. He 
was married (by Friends ceremony the 6 of 5, 1789, 
at Bethpage) to Mary Cornelius, dau. of John and 
Mary (Powell). A warm friend of Elias Hicks he 
went with him as companion, on his very trying 
journey through the then far West in 1828. They 
traveled with their own conveyance over mountains 
and through wildernesses in Pennsylvania, Ohio and 
Indiana, taking six months for the trip. They held 
and attended many meetings, and his account of the 



246 Merritt Family. 

opposition they met with is interesting, but sad. Be- 
sides his meeting business of which he did much, his 
store, farm and surveying business he was very use- 
ful in the neighborhood/being often called upon to 
write Wills, Deeds, &c. and to execute many kinds 
of offices necessary in the care of people's property. 
His wife died 9, 11, 1840. 
He died 30, 3, 1843. 

In 1794. The partnership of Jesse Merritt with 
his father was dissolved, Jesse having become a strict 
Friend could not longer sell intoxicating liquor. An 
auction disposed of the goods, and he (J. M.) pur- 
chased the place of his father-in-law at Bethpage and 
thenceforth he and his family lived under the same 
roof with his father and mother-in-law, taking 
care of them in their old age, and making additions 
and improvements to the property until they died ; he 
in 1814, and she in 1826. 

Jesse and wife occupied the place during their 
lives, and transmitted it to their only son John C. 
Merritt, who has deeded it to his youngest son John 
C. Jr. 

This property was purchased of the Indians by a 
Friend in 1695, as per deed which says he has had 
possession 7 years. A house was built in 1700, on 
the site occupied by the present one, and many 
friends have enjoyed the hospitality of the several 
occupants, none of whom gave friends a warmer wel- 
come than Jesse Merritt.

the Indians, was obliged to borrow money of A. 
Van Der Donck, Sheriff of Rensalaer Wycke. 

The Prince Stadtholder of Holland, taking a Royal

boys an example which many were willing to follow. 
"One of the most noted was Adriaen Van Der 
Donck; Dr. of both Laws." 

" Married, Oct. 23. 1645, m tne Reformed Dutch

himself on behalf of the People. 

In 1652, April 26, while in Holland, " Adriaen 
Van Der Donck, of Breda, Patroon of the Colonie 
Nipperham, by him called Colendonck (Yonkers) was 
empowered to dispose of his Colonie and property 
by Will. His Will gave the Colonie to his wife. 
He returned in 1653. His wife, mother, brother, 
sister, &c, preceded him about a year. 

"In 1655. Patent to Cornelius Van Der Donck

boundaries of New Netherlands extended to Cape 
Henlopen, 4 leagues south of Cape Cornelius, Lat. 
38 degrees. 

Adriaen Van Der Donck died 1655, — his widow 
removed to Pawtuxent, Maryland with her father — 
later m. 2d Rev. Hugh O'Neile. 

Deleware papers say " in 1666, Van Der Donex, 
widow will enter again into possession of Nipperham. 
She claims also land in Maspeth, L. I." N. Van Amstel.

all the land between West Chester and the North 
River, including the land which old Van Der Donck, 
his children and partners divided into Boweries and 
plantations, but which were deserted in the time of 
the massacre in 1655. 

A Survey was made of 640 acres being a mile 
square upon the main patent belonging to (Yonkers)

In 1640. Mary Williams, widow of Thomas 1 lived 
north side of the plains ; a memorial of her by Clement 
Willets says, "she was a worthy woman and justly 
deserves our grateful remembrance, to me she was 
like a mother — and not to me only, but to many of 



328 Williams Family. 

her poor neighbors also, who felt the benefit of her 
bountiful hand. She was very careful not to let her 
left hand know what her right hand did." 

The original deed from the Indians to Robert 
Williams for the Plains in Oysterbay, was executed 
on the 20 of May, 1648. 

Robert appears to have resided a part of the time 
in Hempstead, was living there in 1659. The Indian 
Deed for Oysterbay was executed in 1653 to Robert 
Williams and others, he was one of the patentees of 
Dosori's, O. B. in 1668. Some accounts say that he 
was born in Wales, and was a brother of Richard 
Williams, of Huntington, and a near relative of 
Roger Williams, of R. I., all of which may be true; 
I have not seen any of it verified, suffice it he was 
our Ancestor, and disposed of 1-3 of his property in 
Jericho to his wife's sister, Mary (Washburne), widow 
of Richard Willets ; in 1667 — thus paving the way 
for many pleasant Ancestral homes in that vicinity.

GARDINER FAMILY. 



When Lyon Gardiner came from Saybrooke Fort, 
to L. I., in 1638, he was the first settler within the 
present bounds of Easthampton, and his settlement 
of Gardiner's Island in 1639 was the first English 
settlement in what is since the State of New York, 
being one year anterior to the settlements, at South- 
old and Southampton. 

Lyon Gardiner wrote in his Bible : 

''In the year 1635, July 10, came I, Lion Gardiner, 
and my wife, Mary, from Worden, a town in Holland, 
where my wife was born, being the daughter of one, 
Derike Willemson, Deurant, her mothers name was 
Hackin, and her aunt, sister of her mother, was the 
wife of Wouter Leonardson, old burgomaster. We 
came from Worden, to London, and from there to 
New England, and dwelt at Saybrooke Fort, 4 years, 
it is at the mouth of the Connecticut river, of which 
I was Commander ; and there was born to me a son 
named David, 1636, the 29 th of April, the first born 
in that place, and in 1638, a daughter was born to 
me, called Mary, the 30 th , of August ; and then I went 
to an Island of mine own, which I bought of the 
Indians, called by them Mannehonake, by us, the 
Isle of Wight, and there was born another daughter, 
named Elisabeth, the 14 th of September, 1641, she 
being the first child of English parents, that was 
born there."

In the Spring of 1640, a company of dissatisfied 
and restless men, who had been in Wethersfield, 
Conn, about 6 years, having sought in vain to end 
contentions there ; looked about for a place to re- 
move with their minister, Rev. Mr. Denton. He had 
been a minister, in Halifax, England. 

New Haven people bought Rippowams or Stam- 
ford of the Indians, and offered it to the Wethers- 
field people on certain conditions. 

Twenty-nine men agreed while at Wethersfield, to 
begin the settlement, others came in later. These 
people are spoken of as part of Capt. Mason's 500, 
who came to New Hampshire, in 163 1-3. 

In 1636, there were Articles of agreement be- 
tween the Governor of Manhattan, and the Indians 
on Nassau Island, relating to, and extending over 
that part which was afterwards settled under the 
name of Hempstead. 

In 1643, John Carman and Robert Fordham made 
the first purchase of the Indians, for themselves and 
others. In 1644, Gov. Kieft issued a patent, Bearing 
Date the 16 th day of November, 1644. 

Thomas 1 Gildersleeve, father of Richard 2 came to 
L. I., in 1664. They both sent in their allegiance to 
Connecticut Colony.

cended through Walter Powell, living in Queen Elisa- 
beth's time, from Rhys Aap, King of South Wales. 

Coat of Arms, 6 Lions heads — Lions Rampant Or

Powells (Boughton Moncheusy, Co. Kent, Ednop 
Newtown), descended from Ethelystan, Glodrydd, 
Prince of Ferlys, of this family was Richard Powell, of 
Ednor, author of the Pentarchia, a short History of 
the Royal Tribes of Wales and their descendants, 
written in 1623. Sir Nathaniel Powell, of Ewherst, 
and H. was son of Meredith Powell, and grandson 
of John Ap Howell of Ednop. 

In 1623, living in Virginia on the eastern shore, 
Thomas Powell and wife Gody. 

In 1626, patent granted to Capt. Nathaniel Powell 
and nine others, Land on the northerly side of the 
James river. 

His share was 600 acres.

NEW HAVEN THOMAS POWELL. 



From 1638 to 1681, there was a Thomas Powell 
living in New Haven with wife named Priscilla. 
They were members of the first Church there, and 
we find by the Church Records, and his Will dated 
1681, that they had five children, viz : (he d. 1681.) 

Hannah b. 1641, baptised 1643. m - 1661, Thomas 
Tuttle. she d. 1710. 

Priscilla b. 1642, baptised 1644, m. 1666, John 
Thompson. 

Mary b. 1645, m. 1669, Ephraim Sandford, of 
Milford. 

Martha b. 1651, died early. 

Esther b. 1653, died early. 

No connexion has been traced between these New 
Haven Powells and our first Thomas Powell, of Long 
Island, and the subject would not have been alluded 
to, if Thompson's History of L. I. had not suggested 
that he, of Newhaven, was identical with the L. I. 
Thomas Powell, — and we should not have gone to 
N. H. to search for a possible father of our Thomas.
